In the midst of ICE horror, the Senate needs to prohibit Trump from using ICE as a voter suppression tool. Senate Dems need to put into the approps bill a prohibition on ICE agents being near polling places. This is a must have. Last chance to do this.

Democratic Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson admitted Wednesday he was “in regular communication” with other mayors leading so-called “sanctuary cities” in efforts to impede enforcement of federal immigration laws. President Donald Trump called for an end to “sanctuary cities” in a post on Truth Social Monday, following a series of shootings, two of them fatal, that took place in Minneapolis involving Department of Homeland Security personnel engaged in immigration enforcement operations. Johnson said during a press conference at the National Press Club he’d been talking with Democratic Mayors Jacob Frey of Minneapolis and Michelle Wu of Boston about how to combat...

Key takeaways: CISA’s interim head Madhu Gottumukkala uploaded sensitive “for official use only” documents into the public version of ChatGPT, triggering security alerts despite the tool being blocked for other DHS employees. Although the materials were not classified, experts warn that using public AI tools poses real risks because uploaded data can be retained, breached, or used to inform responses to other users. The incident adds to growing turmoil at CISA, where Gottumukkala’s leadership has sparked internal backlash, staffing losses, and concerns over judgment and governance. SNIP

I don't know how long it's been since I watched an actual late-night "comedy show." I suppose I gave that up when Jay Leno went off the air. And I'm not about to break any news here — we all know how awful they've become. There's no comedy anymore, just political rhetoric, lame jokes, and celebrity a**-kissing, inflating already inflated egos. That said, clips from these darn things keep showing up in my social media feeds, and I felt the need to share my pain with someone, so I chose all of you, PJ Media readers. You're welcome. Maybe you...

We’ll begin by acknowledging the counterarguments:Tom Brady won a Super Bowl without Bill Belichick as head coach; Belichick never won a Super Bowl as head coach without Brady. (Although he won two Super Bowls as the Giants’ defensive coordinator.) Yes, the spectacle of his teenybopper girlfriend is a weird look for a 73-year-old, no-nonsense head coach. Going 4-8 at the lowly University of North Carolina screams, “The game passed him by.”All of the above are true. (Especially #1: In the NFL, Willies and Joes matter FAR more than X’s and O’s — and if you don’t believe me, consider the...

Turlockers continue to show support for Iranian protesters. Joe Cortez, Turlock Journal, Jan 28, 2026 — ... protesters in Turlock, with friends and family still in Iran, paint a far more harrowing picture. “When I spoke to my friend (Saturday), he told me that it’s over 60,000 that have been killed,” said Turlock’s Raymon Galavan, who came to the U.S. from Iran in 2006. “People are protesting for freedom with nothing in their hands, and they’re being killed with (military-grade) bullets.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu repeated his assertion that Israel will not allow Gaza’s reconstruction before terror groups in the Strip disarm, and said Israel would maintain security control over Gaza and the West Bank “Now we are focusing on completing the two remaining missions: dismantling Hamas’s weapons and demilitarizing Gaza of arms and tunnels,” “As I agreed with President Trump… there are only two possibilities: either this will be done the easy way, or it will be done the hard way, but in any case, it will happen,” Netanyahu said of disarmament. “I am already hearing the statements that we...

Meet Amelia. A new conservative symbol and reaction image, she started out as the antagonist from Shout Out UK's government-funded Pathways visual novel/web game. For many people, Amelia does not belong as a villain in a computer game. Interestingly, Pathways was taken off its proprietary site for some time on January 14, This was because the British government temporarily removed it some time ago, as the internet had a field day and anything she did became a meme. The Amelia meme artists were doing a little trolling and pointing out the absurdity of the government... In Pathways, Amelia befriended audience...

Combative rap queen Nikki Minaj called herself President Trump’s “number one fan” Wednesday — declaring defiantly that MAGA haters only make her sing his praises louder. The “Super Bass” songstress flashed her signature glittery, two-inch nails as she held Trump’s hand and urged fans to defend him against “smear campaigns” at a Treasury Department event. “I am probably the president’s number one fan, and that’s not going to change,” Minaj, 43, said after Trump, 79, invited her to speak at a summit touting new investment accounts for children. “And the hate or what people have to say, it does not...

TOPEKA, KS — A kindly hospital clerk asked local man Jonathan Arnold to please fill out the brief 50-page intake form, promising they would then get right to addressing the axe embedded in his skull. The clerk then asked for Arnold's insurance information, stating it would only take 20 minutes to run his benefits so that a doctor could take a look at the hunk of metal in his cranium.
